Thank you so much. I have spent hours following your advice and reading thru these 22 pages.

Question on Orb: Is there a way to stream slingbox/player from my computer to my Touchpad? I have the software on the computer and my smartphone but no slingplayer app for webOS. So I thought perhaps I cd stream the slingplayer from my computer thru Orb but haven't figured out how to do so. Any help wd be appreciated. No I don't have a TV tuner in my computer.

I un-installed OVI on my 64 bit laptop, but still didn't work - possibly remnants left in OS as I didn't run CCleaner. I just used the 32 bit netbook and all worked perfectly, preware was installed in a minute or so... :-) So I still don't know wheteher it was 32vs64bit thing or OVI....but may be of interest to those still trying to install preaware!

ACZ, Ovi is a program for connecting and transferring files to Nokia phones. If you've had Nokia, the chances are you did install it at one point.

Blotch, I don't know what to tell you but as soon as I uninstalled Ovi on my machine, the preware install took off. Good thing you resolved the issue, though.

On a personal neophite note, after all recommended tweaks this thing is flying so freaking fast, it's almost scary

I followed the instructions on Page 1 and installed all of the recommended patches on my 32GB TP. However I noticed that I can no longer "turn OFF" the device by holding the button on the top-right. I press and hold that button and nothing happens.

Is this intended by one of the installed patches or is this another issue? Please advice. Thanks.

That doesn't make any sense - try doing a hard reboot by holding volume/power/center button and go from there. Should fix the issue. If not, try installing the advanced reset options patch from preware.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion but it did not work (most likely due to unresponsive power button). I ended up doing a reset through the "Device Info" option and upon reboot the power button worked again. Very strange. I don't know what could have caused this but all seems well for now.

Wonderful job OP on this get started guide I have my TP on warthog kernel at 1.7 as well as every other tweak suggested and this thing is running like a champ. Thank you so much.

Only one issue I have encountered so far... Apologies if this has been discussed but is anyone else having trouble getting Orb streaming to work?
I am able to view all of my pictures and documents no problem. The issue is when I try to play a video or music file, it loads up, i click play and then it just buffers nonstop. I changed the settings to use the Orb player like it says to do in the guide. Tried it on my other windows PC using the Orb player and it works fine. Also works on my ps3 so I am pretty confident it is a touchpad issue and not router related.

I have adblocker installed could that be the issue? Really want to get this working and I know its something stupid that I am just not seeing. Anyone have suggestions?

Anyone have any idea whether and how this can be done-streaming slingplayer through Orb from computer to TouchPad? Thank you.
